Airbrush Makeup: Love It or Leave It?

A few weeks ago I was watching the season 2 premiere of the Real Housewives of Atlanta (don't judge). In one scene, NeNe (the most outspoken and arguably most fun to watch "character") is getting her makeup done for a night on the town.

With airbrush makeup on the mind, I did some online beauty sleuthing and came across the Temptu AIRbrush Makeup System. This DIY machine supposed to give you flawless results. It even comes with a "How-to-AIRbrush" DVD to show you how to use it. Judging from the rave reviews on Sephora.com, people are really in love with it. The (major) drawback? It costs $225 and the foundation "pods" cost $55 for a pair (which is two months' worth).

So ladies, are we loving it or leaving it? Would you spend that much money if you knew that your skin would look camera-ready every day? Have you ever tried an airbrush foundation like the one from Sally Hansen or Dior? Discuss now!
